The value story
It has never been cheaper than $2.59. That was June 2024. It has been discounted 44 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 65 percent off, with about 12 weeks between sales.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 22 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 78 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Gato Roboto ($7.99, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats Dex ($19.99, scores 62).
None of the 375 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 170 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 12.9 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

The narrative is engaging, silly yet serious, the voice actors are SOLID, it's all around a...
I cannot recommend this game enough. An absolutely fantastic Metroidvania with several extra options for play. The classic version is a well constructed experience, complete with animated and fully voiced cut scenes, a great plot, wonderful exploration, plenty of places to poke your nose into. The game also includes a Roguelike mode with random power-ups to see how far you can get, some extra missions, and a New...
This is a really fun game to play and beat once, but only once. That one boss with the constant healing that stuns you if you deal damage too fast, is definitely not designed with NG+ in mind. I'm sure it's not outright impossible because I did beat the game the first time around, but I quickly lost patience with figuring out which upgrades to turn off and which to leave on so that I could comfortably outpace its...
